A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Hy-Vee Gas, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While filling up, he spotted an old, dusty tin can in the parking lot—its label read ‘Free Lucky Draw!’ Inside were slips of paper with cryptic messages like ‘Win a Free Tank Fill’ or ‘Your Next Purchase Will Be Half Price.’ No one knew where it came from. Soon enough, everyone started checking their next purchase receipt for hidden discounts. One day, a delivery driver found his entire order was half price—and he hadn’t even entered the lucky draw! Word spread quickly, and soon Hy-Vee Gas became known as the place where good fortune just fell out of cans. The regulars laughed it off, happy to get unexpected deals on gas and groceries alike.

2. At Hy-Vee Gas, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen gas pump this slow!’ As he waited, customers started glancing curiously at their watches. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the pump clicked off with a triumphant beep. The driver shook his head and muttered, ‘That’s one slow pump, but I guess it saves on electricity.’ A nearby customer chuckled and said, “Better slow than no gas at all!”

3. At Hy-Vee Gas, a little boy pointed excitedly at the nozzle. ‘Dad, why does it dance when I touch it?’ The father smiled and gently explained, 'Son, that’s not dancing—it’s just static electricity.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then touched the nozzle again, grinning as he felt another zap. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Kids these days!'

4. At Hy-Vee Gas, an elderly gentleman muttered under his breath as he filled up his car. ‘Why is it always so windy here? It’s like someone keeps turning on a giant fan!’ As he finished pumping gas, a young delivery driver walked by and grinned. ‘Maybe it’s because we’re right next to the interstate,’ he quipped. The old man nodded knowingly, shaking his head with a smile. ‘Probably that,’ he mumbled, ‘but I still say it feels like something bigger.’
